| description | A cross sectional data collected through a structured questionnaire coupled with an interview schedule from 360 rice farmers selected via multi-stage sampling technique was used to determine the labour efficiency of rice farmers in Nigeria’s North-Central region. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the 2020 cropping season data. The empirical evidences showed a farming population that is gender bias due to stereotypes, that affected women access to and control over productive resources. Besides, economic-productive people that explored pecuniary advantages in order to achieve economies of scale engaged in cultivation of thinly uneconomic holdings. The poor economic status of the farm families made most of the farmers to rely on family labour for farm operations, thus keeping most of their children and young ones out of school. Furthermore, most of the farmers were fairly efficient in the use of labour with little technical support required to enable them achieve optimum labour efficiency level (frontier point). However, the empirical evidences showed competition for labour demand between farm and off-farm activities and conservative and complacency attitudes due to longevity in the enterprise to be the factors that affected labour efficiency. Therefore, the study calls for gender mainstreaming in agricultural budget to overcome women’s challenge on productive resources; incentivized the enterprise viz., credit provision; adoption of bottom-to-top approach in research and practical demonstration approach in transfer of innovative rice technologies. |

Los datos obtenidos de la época de cultivo 2020 fueron analizados mediante estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales. Las evidencias empíricas mostraron una población agrícola sesgada por el estereotipo de género, que afectó al acceso y control de los recursos productivos por parte de las mujeres. También, se encontró que los agentes económicamente productivos que exploraban las ventajas financieras para alcanzar economías de escala se dedicaban a cultivar explotaciones poco rentables. La mala situación económica de las familias agricultoras hizo que la mayoría de los agricultores dependieran de la mano de obra familiar para las operaciones agrícolas, manteniendo así a la mayoría de sus niños y jóvenes fuera del sistema educativo. Además, la mayoría de los agricultores eran bastante eficientes en el uso de la mano de obra, y apenas necesitaban apoyo técnico para poder alcanzar un nivel óptimo de eficiencia laboral (punto límite o frontera). Sin embargo, las pruebas empíricas mostraron que los factores que afectaban a la eficiencia de la mano de obra eran la competencia por la demanda de mano de obra entre las actividades agrícolas y las no agrícolas y las actitudes conservadoras y de complacencia a causa de la longevidad en la empresa. Por tanto, el estudio aboga por la integración de la perspectiva de género en el presupuesto agrícola para superar el desafío existente para las mujeres en cuanto a los recursos productivos; por el estímulo a las empresas mediante la concesión de créditos; y, por la adopción de un enfoque de abajo hacia arriba en la investigación y de un enfoque de demostración práctica en la transferencia de tecnologías innovadoras del arroz.Universidad Central del Ecuador2022-09-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/ziptext/xmlhttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/SIEMBRA/article/view/396910.29166/siembra.v9i2.3969Siembra; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2022): SIEMBRA; e3969Siembra; Vol. 9 Núm. 2 (2022): SIEMBRA; e39692477-88501390-892810.29166/siembra.v9i2reponame:Revista Siembrainstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEenghttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/SIEMBRA/article/view/3969/4937https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/SIEMBRA/article/view/3969/4938https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/SIEMBRA/article/view/3969/4943https://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/SIEMBRA/article/view/3969/4944Derechos de autor 2022 Mohammed Sanusi Sadiq, Invider Paul Singh, Muhammad Ahmad Makarfihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-01T12:32:43Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/3969Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*2477-88501390-8928opendoar:*2022-12-01T12:32:43Revista Siembra - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse |
